The time has come for me to leave the nest
I’m on my way to start a life my own.
Look forward to the fun, forget the rest
Explore the boundaries of the unknown.

I crossed the gate, the scale overwhelmed me
Seems like I’ve entered totally new realm.
So many pleasant things to do, to see
The important matter is not to whelm.

And so, it begins, Independent life
First step to blend, paint my white wings to black
To be accepted is something I strife
To become part of the local wolf pack.

They smoked, they drank, they took and so did I
With each intake, my will would disappear
How could I look into my parent’s eye?
It didn’t matter, they’re there and I’m here.

And so, it dragged, I lost a sense of time
My mind and body were very weakened.
This period was meant to be my prime
So why now I feel my life depleted?

.Such low grades, so close to get expulsion
No money left to simply buy some bread
One look at me, a great sense of repulsion
Sometimes just wishing, I would just drop dead.

Leaving my fiend, embracing solitude
I walked new path, to learn from my mistake
Something felt missing, something to include
I asked for answers, waters of the vast blue lake.

In turn, except for gentle passing wind
Whispering foreign words unknown to me
The symphony of nature made time tinned
I closed my eyes, indulging in me flee.

The tender breeze began to slowly howl
Combined with darkness, swiftly dragging in
To the abyss where I could hear the growl,
I felt his glare, I doubted I could win.

As I was sitting there, fighting my battle
I saw bright light dissipating darkness
The flowing warmth made my body brattle
Breathing life once more into my carcass.

I awoke to the golden wave of floss
Glossing and moving like surface waters.
I turned my head, she sat from me across
My eyes met hers, leaving me in totters.

Her tender face stretched into a smile
I felt the blood rush coming to my cheeks.
Abruptly turned away, has been a while
Since my happiness has reached such peaks.

Just then I felt her gentle hand on mine
Not saying a word, asked her with a look.
Not letting go, her firm fingers entwine
She tightened her grip, her head slowly shook.

A moment of silence hung above us
Both our eyes staring into the deep blue
No dialogue, we sat there to discuss
As if we were in painting someone drew.

And so, time passed, a second, minute, hour,
With each breath, I felt destiny at hand
Her by my side made the devils cower
I saw us running on the grassy strand.

Ready to be her brother, lover, friend
Be by her side, protect her, love her
Although I know she’s strong and likes to fend
No matter what I’m there to stop the trouble.

Next to her is where my happiness lied,
Where I felt free to be myself again.
I was mesmerised even when she cried,
Nothing left more from life for me to gain.

Today I sit here wrinkled from old age
Remembering the past, just like the Dove
Splitting the skies, she freed me from my cage,
I met an angel sent from high above.
